Summary of Changes

Stunner missile is reported to use a millimeter wave active radar seeker that operates in the Ka band (30GHz+)

Also, given that the Stunner uses 4 methods of guidance in the terminal stage (SARH, IIR, EO, and ARH) the probability of hit should be higher than 85%, more closer to 90-95%, similar to the PAC-3 or Aster 30 Block 1 NT

Changes: -change ARH seeker band to L -increase Stunner hit probability to 95%

What is the source for this information? It's not reflected anywhere in the wiki article as far as I can see.

That's a good point, I just figured if it's rumored to have a milimeter wave seeker to enable HTK, it should have a similar K or L band seeker like the PAC 3 or Aster 30. But it's possible it doesn't need it since there is an EO and IIR seeker.

But I do think hit probability should be increased from 85% to 95% since it has 3 seekers, just an estimate.

Yep, I went ahead and tweaked the PoH. Leaving the radar specs until we get actual data.
